Places to stay in Wakita, Oklahoma
Wakita is a town in Grant County, Oklahoma, founded in 1898. It was featured in the 1996 blockbuster film Twister starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton in which Wakita was destroyed by an F4 tornado that was part of a storm system later spawning an F5 tornado. False fronts were built onto the existing store fronts for some shots and then were removed and replaced with rubble in the streets after the tornado hit and the rest of the building was removed using CGI. Some buildings were demolished, but nothing was put in to replace them. Local restaurants include Twister Cafe.
If you are travelling in the area, Wakita is located close to First Christian Church, Hawley Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery and Wakita Cemetery.
